Transatlantic Love Affair presents Red and the Mother Wild, a new piece from old bones! Red and the Mother Wild is a tale of what lies beyond the bounds of our cultivated lives. Inspired by the themes and hidden corners of Red Riding Hood, the piece weaves revisioning of our 2011 Fringe show, Red Resurrected, with new material developed as part of Illusion’s 2024 Fresh Ink series. Journey with us into the deep dark woods, where wolves are not what they seem, and the wild has something to teach us all.

There has always been something different about Red. Raised in a small mountain community, she is the child of everyone and none at once, yet longs for something beyond the bounds of what she knows. Called by the woods, that one forbidden place, what will she find when she leaves the path created for her? Meanwhile, stories abound of another woman who also went astray, who wandered into the wilderness long ago…

TLA and ILLUSION have had a long relationship beginning in 2012 when TLA presented Ballad of the Pale Fisherman in ILLUSION’s Lights UP! Series. Other works with ILLUSION include Red Resurrected (2013), Ash Land (2014), emilie / eurydice (2015), 105 Proof (2016), The Privateer (2017), The Devout (2019), After the Fires (2020), These Old Shoes (2014 and 2023)
